Is it really impossible to eat a teaspoon of cinnamon all at once???

Question

my brother told me it was.

Answer 1

Cinnamon, like salt, absorbs moisture. Since water is necessary to swallow, having too much in your mouth at once will absorb all the available water and make swallowing impossible. Eating a teaspoon of cinnamon at once without drinking while doing it would be impossible for a person with a normal amount of saliva in their mouth.

It might be possible to get the stuff down if you could drink while eating it or if you had a mouthful of water in your mouth when you put in the cinnamon. It would be his fault for not setting the rules for his challenge ahead of time.

This same loophole works when people challenge you to eat a dozen saltine crackers at once as well. Just FYI it doesn't help at all when someone dares you to drink a bottle of Tabasco sauce.

Answer 2

Why don't you try and find out. On second thought don't. Cinnamon isn't sweet unless it's mixed with sugar and it actually may burn your throat. It's used in many lip plumping lip sticks as the plumper. a little cinnamon oil on your lips (very little!) will do the same thing.

Answer 3

It would have a dry taste to it, and it would be better if it was on a toast or with some other food to add some flavor.

Answer 4

As it has a strong flavour I would use it in moderation , otherwise I'd probably choke!

Answer 5

I don't think it's impossible, but it would be pretty wasteful. That stuff is expensive.

Answer 6

It can be harmful to your stomach and cause severe side effects and reactions

Answer 7

Why would you even want to? Don't live your life on a dare.

Answer 8

I'd believe it to, CZ it is strong to the taste.

Answer 9

now i want to try it ill tell you later

Answer 10

I don't know but I wouldn't want to try it.
